We are trying to install ClassicWB on to our real Amiga 1200, with no success. The problem arises when creating the system.zip file using ADF Opus, the screen flashes and although the file is created, when the system.zip file is extracted using the install disk on the Amiga nothing happens. We did manage to get the system.zip files to extract using Winuae, but have not managed to do this on the real Amiga. We can't see the error message as it goes to the remove install disk and reboot screen too quickly.

We repair computers for a living, and this is making us tear our hair out!

Thanks for the reply. When we create the system.zip file from the system.hdf from ClassicWB using ADF Opus, the file size is 880K (does this file size sound right to you?) - then when we transfer it to the DH0 on our Amiga and use the install-disk created from the install-disk.adf from ClassicWB we get the following error message:

Archive: DH0:System.zip end-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zip file, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directoryand zip file comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive.

Which leads us to think that the issue lies with the creation of the System.zip file in ADF Opus.

Is it possible to extract the System.hdf files and folders on the Amiga to create the System.zip file? (suggestions for creating zip file)

In the archives "ClassicWB_LITE_v28.zip" it is included the right config for WinUAE, the file is called "ClassicWB.uae", if you have installed correctly WinUAE to use it just double click, you only have to change the path KickStart and add HardFile "System.hdf".

Which command is use for the .zip file handle, maybe a stupid question but is good to know the details, another is it a plain a1200 then I can try on a test setup when I have some spare time left for fun, I need to get the "ClassicWB_LITE_v28.zip file first to try it out.
